5.1. Introduction

This chapter describes how to configure a simulation model for use with the BCVTB. Before configuring your own simulation, it is recommended to run and modify the examples in the folder bcvtb/examples as described in Chapter 4, Running simulations with the BCVTB.

Setting up an own simulation is easiest if one of the examples in the folder bcvtb/examples is used as a starting point. Configuring a simulation with the BCVTB consists of the following steps, which are described in the next sections:

Create a Ptolemy II model. This is described in Section 5.2, “Ptolemy II”.
Create and configure a simulation model by following the instructions described in
Run the Ptolemy II model created in step 1.
